Immigration Reform

Immigration reform is a topic that has been a point of controversy for our country for years. We think that a great way to find a solution with compromise would be to find a way to make it easier for immigrants to become U.S. citizens. This would mean making it cheaper and less difficult, because in order to become a U.S. citizen today, there is a large test with very difficult questions that most naturally born citizens don't even know the answer to, and it costs around $680 to pay for the bio metrics fee and the application for naturalization alone.

The 10 Powers Divided, and the Most Powerful

Executive: 1-4,

Judicial: 5

Diplomatic: 6-10

We think that the most important of these powers given to the President would be #1, as it gives the President a large amount of power over one of the strongest and largest armed forces in the world. This gives the President immense powers that no other civilian possesses.

Roles of the President

The president acts as many people. Chief of State, Chief Legislator, Commander in Chief, Chief Executive, and Chief Diplomat. Chief of Diplomat involved with foreign affairs across the world. Chief Executive means administering the laws but not making them. Commander in Chief makes him head of all military affairs. Chief Legislator allows him to push his ideas in congress and talk about his policies. Chief of State makes the president show up to domestic events.
